We received your letter. Let us know exactly when, specify the deadline precisely—whether you can go yourself or send someone for the suitcase (to Königsberg or Berlin). Then the literature received will have to be taken to X at the address: ...*  Do you know German at all, since we shall have to deal with a German. Calculate what expenses each trip to Königsberg will entail, and inform us how often such trips are possible. In case there is an opportunity to go to Berlin, here is the address (and password) for picking up the suitcase. It is necessary to have things to fill the suitcase.
